What Is a Gas Safety Check?
A gas safety check is a detailed inspection of the gas appliances, pipework, ventilation and safety systems within your commercial kitchen. It ensures everything is operating safely, efficiently and in line with current Gas Safe regulations. For most catering businesses, this check is carried out annually to stay compliant with insurance requirements and commercial safety standards.
During your inspection, a certified GMSE engineer assesses the condition and performance of each appliance, tests the interlock system and checks for any potential leaks or ventilation issues. If your kitchen uses gas appliances, a CP42 commercial gas certificate will be issued upon successful completion.
What’s Included in a GMSE Gas Safety Check
Your inspection is carried out by qualified Gas Safe engineers, covering every part of your commercial kitchen’s gas system. Here’s what’s included:
-
CP42 Commercial Gas Safety Inspection
A full compliance check for any commercial kitchen using gas appliances. You’ll receive a CP42 certificate after a successful inspection.
-
Gas Appliance Condition & Performance Check
Burners, seals, thermostats, gas pressures and safety devices are inspected to ensure each appliance operates efficiently and safely.
-
Gas Tightness Testing
Your engineer checks all exposed pipework to confirm there are no leaks and that your system holds pressure correctly.
-
Ventilation & Interlock System Testing
We assess airflow, extraction performance and verify the interlock system shuts off the gas supply correctly when ventilation is compromised.

Safety Device Testing
We check flame-failure devices, isolation valves, emergency stops and all fitted safety mechanisms.
